I'm probably 5 hrs drive from there. Someone from LA would be pretty close.

I drove down to my kid's place in Huron and I snapped some pictures of the farm fields around there. A little different than your picturesque British farms.

The first one shows the typical pump station. The water comes in an underground pipe to the blue pipe. It is pressurized by the diesel pump and goes out through the drip tubing.

The second one shows an onion field starting to lay down. These are onions for making onion powder.

The third is an almond orchard.

The fourth is a cotton field that has just emerged.

The last one is a wheat field that looks to be ready to harvest.

I'll try it again.

I'm on a roll now. Here is a melon field, probably cantaloupes and then as I headed through the coast range to visit my uncle a picture of Pleasant Valley State Prison and a shot of the road going through the hills. Then I ran out of space on my camera.

Started this job Thursday. Back side got struck by lightning and failed a few days later into the woods. We cleaned that up, then I ran up this other side quickly. Yesterday I went back and blocked it down yesterday (no vid), but had to stop again because I couldn't get the brush out with the mini loader without turning his yard into a mud pit. I'll finish up tonight or tomorrow.

Here are some stumps I did a while back. They were Eucs that had been cut down several years ago and of course were quite dry and hard.
